Managing water resources

We are committed to providing a high quality and reliable water supply to customers now and in the future

We aim to achieve this in a way that is the most affordable and takes into consideration any environmental pressures on our resources.

Ensuring we can provide high quality and reliable water supplies to customers now and in the future requires a lot of planning.

Every five years we prepare a Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP), which sets out in detail how we plan to achieve this goal in a way that is affordable and takes into consideration any environmental pressures on our water resources over the next 25 years.

We need to ensure we are able to maintain a surplus of supply, known as headroom, over the expected demand for water.
